   • 1998, Pierre-Claude Aïtcin, Mohamed Lachemi, Regis Adeline, Pierre Richard, “The Sherbrooke Reactive Powder Concrete Footbridge”, in Structural Engineering International, volume 8, number 2, DOI:10.2749/101686698780489243:

     Formwork was removed after 24 hours, as the compressive strength of the RPC reached 50 MPa. It was then possible to prestress the diagonals' monostrands and to lift the segment. A 48-hours heat treatment was then applied by injecting 90 C water vapor under a plastic enclosure (Fig. 6).

2. (molecular biology, often attributive) A macromolecular structure composed of a single strand (nucleotide chain).
   • 2020, Claude Pasquier, Sandra Agnel & Alain Robichon, “Transcriptome-wide-scale-predicted dsRNAs potentially involved in RNA homoeostasis are remarkably excluded from genes with no/very low expression in all developmental stages”, in RNA Biology, volume 17, number 4, DOI:10.1080/15476286.2020.1717154, ISSN 1547-6286, page 13:

     This relatively small proportion is explained by the fact that a certain number of the reads identified by Ghildiyal et al. represent monostrands without a reverse complement in the transcriptome and, predominantly, piwi RNAs excluded from our lists.
